Print to an XP server
If the Windows XP share name for the printer is too long, contains spaces or
other unusual characters, Windows 98 won't see the printer. Shorten the name and make it simple. -- Richard G.

Yes, that would certainly help. You'll find that option on the Sharing tab
for the printer. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Win9x] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
